Just what I came here to say. Please vote the parent up.

A fine paid by the business will not change behaviour of managers -- who just profited (got bigger bonuses) from this. The decision makers need life changing fines or prison time. Managers in other companies will see this, decide that they do not want the same and so behave.

be that they just start growing when the moisture reaches them ?

Unless you are stupid or trying to curry favour with the Orange Idiot ?

In a data center the repair tech needs to walk past a few racks to replace what is broken. With this setup s/he will need to drive somewhere, fix whatever, drive back - assuming that the remote diagnostics were correct and that they brought the right parts first time. Then there is access: "we are having a kids' party today, beware the supersoakers."

Nobody is saying that AI should not be on Ubuntu - they just want the ability to easily not have it. Ie have the choice - which is what Linux systems are famous for.

In Japan unemployment was 2.7% in March 2026. So either they are not paying enough to get staff or they are not telling the truth.

Eg keep on resetting the date to 1st May

Hosting a web site costs money, using an AI to do something costs money. What is the reward for spending this money ? I have a feeling that most of it is not what one would call good. Reasons that come to mind:

• * Spreading a political/similar message or confusing someone else's message
• * Generate clickbait to earn money from Google/...
• * Persuade people to buy something which might be real or a scam

There must be more that I cannot think of now. What do you think ?

With highly accurate time measurement the location matters as there is one environmental factor that cannot be shielded: gravity. So depending how far you are in the earth's gravity well time will flow at different speeds. So: is there a standard position or do we just accept that these clocks will measure slightly different times ?

This does not matter for almost all of us, it will not affect my decision as to when I eat my breakfast - I will not notice.

In England senior members of the government must put their stocks into a Blind Trust. While not perfect this goes a long way to avoiding insider trading.

who would have ever thought that such a thing would happen ?

Put valuable data somewhere and of course the crooks will try to steal it, and they did. This is the sort of information needed to blag their way into bank & corporate accounts, reset email passwords, access tax records and no end of similar things. This will cause mayhem for the 19 million French men & women.

May this be a warning to those planning similar systems in other countries: either do not do it (fat chance of that) or invest in proper security that is frequently pen-tested.

It will need to be replaced, who pays: Amazon or the supplier/manufacturer ?
